Company Profile

Farmers Conversion

We're the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, a dynamic and widely respected group of insurance companies enjoying our eighth decade of successful business.

The first seven decades of Farmers were just the beginning. The company's heritage of being able to change with the times has allowed for the achievement of many accomplishments. These same qualities will carry it forward into the future as it continues its tradition of service and success.

Today we are one of the largest Auto and Homeowner's insurance companies in the country. We are also a leading force in the Commercial Insurance market, and provide invaluable Life insurance protection to millions of Americans. We currently choose to operate in 41 states with assets over $20 billion, offering attractive careers for more than 30,000 men and women.

With Farmers' merger with Zurich Financial Services, one of the world's largest financial service organizations, a number of changes are taking place - exciting changes with far-reaching possibilities for the company. Zurich Personal Insurance, a U.S. property and casualty company operated by Zurich, has been incorporated into the Farmers family, extending the Farmers brand to new states in the eastern United States.

Growth is the mark of a successful company, and another key to Farmers' expansion is the development of new products. This not only includes innovative programs in Auto, Fire, Life, and Business lines, but also involves exciting new value-added products, such as a home warranty program, education loans, and an auto buying service. Farmers' acquisition of Foremost Insurance Company has allowed us to expand our specialty lines products such as boats, motorcycles, motor homes, mobile homes, etc. The formation of Farmers Financial Solutions, LLC offers Farmers' customers access, through our agents, to diverse investment products, such as mutual funds and other asset-growth resources.

These financial products are also part of a different kind of expansion: expansion of services in each customer's household. More than ever, Farmers will present an assortment of insurance, financial services and related products our customers want and need. Through this approach, Farmers will enhance the strong customer loyalty it already enjoys by offering the solutions to help people protect and build their assets throughout every stage of their lives.
